Right now is one of the best times of the year for propagating flowers by cuttings. Turn 1 pot of flowers at home into 10 pots, so get started right away! Below we introduce 5 flowers suitable for autumn cuttings!
Rose
Cut off 1-year-old rose branches, about 6 cm long, keep the top 2 leaves, insert the prepared rose branches into a mineral water bottle filled with water, making sure the bottom end can touch the water, and place it in a ventilated spot with scattered light.
It grows fastest in autumn. After transplanting, fertilize after half a month, once every 1 month.
Daisy
When propagating daisies by cuttings, choose April to June, when the climate is more suitable and the survival rate is highest.
Choose healthy and robust cuttings, remove the leaves, insert them directly into the soil to 1/3 of their position, then water to keep the growing medium moist.
Mandevilla
The most suitable time for propagating mandevilla by cuttings is late spring and summer; autumn also works, when the temperature is moderate.
Choose semi-lignified branches grown in the current year, about 20 cm long, store them in a bag with suitable humidity, and wrap the wound with a wet cloth or toilet paper. For the prepared branches, cut off the lower leaves, apply rooting powder to the bottom, then insert them into the medium. If dry, spray some water. New roots grow in 2 weeks.
Fringed iris
For fringed iris, choose spring or autumn for division and cuttings, avoiding the rainy season. When propagated in autumn, the flower buds can fully differentiate before winter, which benefits blooming the following year.
Select thick and strong fringed iris branches, cut off the sprouted branches to a length of 15-20 cm, keep 3-5 leaves, insert them into the medium, and keep the soil and air moist. Generally, they can take root in 15-20 days.
Clematis
Clematis cuttings are generally done in autumn. You can choose semi-mature branches for this. For the soil, choose perlite and vermiculite. The cutting depth is generally just enough for the buds on the node to be exposed above the soil surface.
